Concealing Source Code

How can I keep my code from bieng viewed.
I see on some sites that there is a restriction when you right click and select "View Source".

Thanks!

thats a js script, no real way to block it. look it up on http://hotscripts.com

Why do you want to conceal it?

I'd just add a bunch of space at top and then some people will think it is blank.

This script will prevent users from right-clicking to view the source, but they can still select it from the browser menu (e.g., View >> Source in IE).

But keeping users from right-clicking can also prevent the "casual" user from right-clicking to save your images. They can still pull them out of their cache, however.

In the end, there is no way to hide anything from your users. You are, after all, sending all your source code and images to their browser.

Use Flash instead! There is no way you are going to hide your source code... sorry!

Even in flash there is something called "Sowthink flash decompiler" or something like that.

Thanks to everyone for this one.
I've come to the conclusion that the answer is "NO!!!"

Yeah, that's the answer you were supposed to have come to...

Anyway, you can just add a bunch of line space to the top of the file if you want to get rid of the people who are too lazy too scroll

Yea, I seen a similar trick like this somewhere too, they just write "Your IP Address is being recorded", add a bunch of space before the first html tag and the average user freaks out a bit and closes the source code

LOL
